    What a tragedy. I'm not into Indy car racing, but he was obviously a great driver. Pretty sobering watching some of that in car footage.

    Unbelievable, and such a big shunt.

    Too many cars, concrete walled oval, recipe for disaster. Another great talent wasted.

    RIP, and thoughts go out to his wife and 2 young kids.
